Heading back towards Denver we found this turnout at the top of the Kenosha Pass (10,000') and as the Colorado Trail (500 miles of hiking) crossed here we decided to go for a hike and stay overnight. The trail winds up gently through cottonwoods and pine forest to a summit overlooking high plains. The smell of the pine sap reminds us of some of the forests in Scotland. You feel like you're being watched as the notches in the cottonwoods look like eyes. All along the trail are shelters (Ray Mears style). Wildlife sightings, a few squirrels, chipmunks, birds and lots of wildflowers.Read more

Amazing scenic road climbing up and down through canyons and over passes, the view as we left the Pike National Forest was stunning over the flat high plain to The Collegiate Peaks of the Sawatch Range in The Rocky Mountains. Spending a few days at Snowy Peaks RV Park exploring.

Cousins Sarah and Paige Gray took Maddie and Gordie out horseback riding! Sarah was on her horse Quinn and Paige let Maddie and Gordie ride her horse Winnie the Pooh. M&G even got Winnie to trot! Gotta have the perfect Colorado experience! Thank you, Paige and Sarah and Aunt Karen for sharing your horses with us!!!
